Ukraine scheme birthday

The ‘Homes for Ukraine Scheme’ which has seen the involvement of many evangelicals is marking its first anniversary.

In a report written by Dr Krish Kandiah (see en interview December 2022) summarising the last 12 months, he writes that the initiative has helped 117,100 people – mostly women and children – find sanctuary in the UK.

He says that 99% of the refugees (one pictured) report ‘feeling grateful’ to be here in the country, and estimates the initiative has saved tax payers more than £4.4 billion as the government has needed to spend less of its own cash to help those fleeing the war, as would have been the case had the scheme not existed.
